Womanist Bioethics
Offers Bioethics a bold approach to redress its failing of Black women Black people, and especially Black women, suffer and die from diseases at much higher rates than their white counterparts. The vast majority of these health disparities are not attributed to behavioral differences or biology, but to the pervasive devaluation of Black bodies. Womanist Bioethics addresses this crisis from a bioethical standpoint. It offers a critique of mainstream bioethics as having embraced the perspective of its mainly white, male progenitors, limiting the extent to which it is positioned to engage the issues that particularly affect vulnerable populations.

Angela's Angora
Angela's Angora on Joni Järvi-Laturin seitsemäs runokokoelma ja kolmastoista kirja. Very decent men do their job and go home, they don't care about the goodness in them, some kind of moral code, secretly learned. Very decent men will sacrifice it all for a woman that doesn't want them all because it comes with the code. (Beautiful Eva Has Feelings)
African Indigenous Religious Traditions in Local and Global Contexts
This volume honours one of the great scholars of our era, Professor Jacob Olupona. Although he has conducted significant portions of his career outside of Nigeria, he has not separated himself from his colleagues or from interests in religions in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa. His publications and presentations offer the international scholarly community important critical insights into a range of religious activities, life ways and ideas originating in Africans and the African Diaspora. In spite of the diversity in the thoughts and opinions expressed, and equally of the range of disciplines and topics contained in the book, one can say that the contributors have developed a shared concern about the role of African Indigenous Religious Traditions in the processes of development and the context within which it (development) had or is taking place. The book guides us to a deep understanding and appreciation of how Africans in their varied situations grapple with existential problems through philosophical ruminations, complex ritual processes, cultivated memory and organized coping strategies.

Viimeinen yö Twisted Riverillä
Viimeinen yö Twisted Riverillä on osoitus Irvingin tarinankertojan voimasta. Twisted Riverin rannalla on sahan ja tukinuiton ympärille syntynyt yhteisö, jonka karskeja työmiehiä ja isoja naisia muonittaa ontuva kokki nimeltä Dominic Baciagalupo. Hän asuu ruokalan yläkerrassa kahdestaan poikansa Dannyn kanssa. Dominicin lempisanonnan mukaan maailmassa sattuu vahinkoja. Eräänä yönä sattuu niin kohtalokas vahinko, että Dominicin ja Dannyn on pakko häipyä paikkakunnalta vähin äänin ennen aamun koittoa. Alkaa pakomatka, joka kestää halki vuosikymmenten. Vuosien kuluessa Dominicilla on monta ravintolaa ja Dannysta tulee kansainvälisesti menestynyt kirjailija, mutta Twisted River ei jätä heitä rauhaan. Baciagalupojen uskollisena ystävänä pysyy metsuri Ketchum, omintakeinen ajattelija ja korvaamaton tuki niin isälle kuin pojallekin.
